State Police Searching For Hit & Run Driver

State Police are investigating an accident Friday morning on Interstate 70 in Canton Township that left a woman  seriously hurt and shut down both east and westbound lanes near the Jessop Place Exit.  Troopers say a white van was heading westbound on I-70 just before eleven-thirty, and was behind a black pickup truck with a flatbed trailer.  They say a “large, sharp piece of metal” reportedly flew from the trailer and went through the van’s windshield, hitting the second-row middle passenger in the head.  Medics treated the passenger on scene before she was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital. She is currently in serious condition, police say.  The black pickup truck did not stop after the crash and police are asking anyone who’s seen a vehicle matching that description to call PSP Washington at 724-223-5200.  Witnesses told police that there may have been flags on the truck’s trailer.  I-70 was closed in both directions after the crash near the Jessop Exit, but reopened shortly after noon.
